'If we believe in the same lies, that makes us countrymen.' First poem and I just know this is gonna make me ache.
Favourite so far is Reciprocity is A Two-Way Street. "You think of how casually our bodies are overruled by kin, by blood, by heartaches disguised as homelands. How you can count the lives you have lived for yourself on one hand. History is the hammer, and you are the nail."

"Choose your own moment of inception. Diaspora is durational loss. We keep moving and moving and moving. We never arrive."
